This study found that keratin 15 expression is downregulated in hyperproliferative conditions like psoriasis and hypertrophic scars, suggesting it is not compatible with keratinocyte activation.
research Expression of the hair stem cell-specific keratin 15 in pilar tumors of the skin.
This study suggests that immunostaining for Keratin 15 may be a useful tool for differentiating between basal cell carcinoma and trichoepithelioma.
research A keratin 15 containing stem cell population from the hair follicle contributes to squamous papilloma development in the mouse
This study found that keratin 15 expressing cells from the hair follicle contribute to the development and long-term persistence of cutaneous papillomas in transgenic mice, with a subset showing the Ha-ras mutation.
research Endocrine controls of primary adult human stem cell biology: Thyroid hormones stimulate keratin 15 expression, apoptosis, and differentiation in human hair follicle epithelial stem cells in situ and in vitro
This study found that thyroid hormones T3 and T4 enhance keratin 15 promoter activity and stimulate CD200 expression in epithelial stem cells from human scalp hair follicles, affecting their growth and differentiation.

5 / 141 resultscommunity Additional supplements / peptides to maximize finasteride benefit
The user is using finasteride, HGH, GHK-CU, BPC-157, KPV, biotin/collagen/keratin vitamins, ketoconazole shampoo, and low-dose naltrexone to address hair loss, avoiding minoxidil due to past shedding experiences. Adenosine is discussed as a potential alternative to minoxidil, though it is noted to be expensive and hard to find.
community 1.5 year on finasteride,microneedling,and minoxidil.Nothing helps its getting even worse.Is it possible that finasteride doesnt work on everybody? 19m
The user has been using topical finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, and various supplements for hair loss without success, and is advised to reduce microneedling frequency and consider oral finasteride or dutasteride. It is noted that finasteride may not work for everyone, and some users suggest checking hormone levels and deficiencies.
community 1.5 years on finasteride/rogaine/nizoral
A 24-year-old experienced initial success with finasteride, Rogaine, and Nizoral for hair loss but noticed a decline after 1.5 years. Despite concerns about side effects, they decided to try dutasteride after consulting with a dermatologist.
community 2019 vs 2022 vs 2026: 1mg oral fin, 0.1% fin + 7% minox topical daily for 2-2.5 years, nizoral 2-3 times weekly, random 0.5-2mm microneedling every 2-3 months
The user experienced significant hair regrowth using a regimen of 1mg oral finasteride, 0.1% finasteride and 7% minoxidil topical daily, along with nizoral and microneedling. They regained all lost hair and more, achieving a Norwood 1.5 hairline with improved hair and scalp texture.
community a new supplement just released
A dermatologist recommended a new supplement containing annurca apple, which reportedly doubles hair density and increases keratin after 60 days, to be used with finasteride. Some users are skeptical, considering it potentially ineffective or a marketing ploy, while others are open to trying it if it proves effective and affordable.
